Amazon Quiz: Bangladesh recently won their first ever ODI against South Africa in South Africa. At which venue did this happen?
Wanderers
Supersport Park
Kingsmead
St George’s Park
Answer: Supersport Park
Centurion Park, also known as SuperSport Park is a cricket ground in Centurion, Gauteng, South Africa. This ground was called SuperSport Park since television company Supersport bought shares in the stadium. The capacity of the ground is 22,000.
Since 2004, the Titans cricket team have played most of their home games here. The ground was home to the Titans’ predecessor team Northerns (previously Northern Transvaal) since 1986.
The first Test match at Centurion was held in November 1995, as the opening match of the first post-apartheid tour of South Africa by the England cricket team; however, the match was drawn after being severely affected by rain.
Centurion was the venue for the notorious fifth Test match of the next England tour in 2000, when (after three days’ play were lost to rain) South African captain Hansie Cronje forfeited his team’s second innings to allow for a result on the final day of the match, which England won.
In 2001, further controversy occurred when the scheduled third Test between South Africa and India at Centurion was declared to be an “unofficial” Test after the Board of Control for Cricket in India refused to accept the International Cricket Council’s match referee, Mike Denness, who had disciplined several Indian players in the previous match at Port Elizabeth.
In December 2010, India batsman Sachin Tendulkar scored his 50th Test century at Centurion in the first Test of the 2010–11 Indian tour of South Africa.
